Meow Is Not a Cat

For ages 4-8 Meow Is Not Cat is a flight of folly starring a cynical cat, wild monkeys, a banana cannon, and a unique kid named Meow. Follow along as this wild child’s unique way of following instructions ends up going completely bananas.This is a completely goofy story, guaranteed to make kids laugh. With a fast pace and endless cast of characters, even pre-readers will love shouting out their favorite parts as you read aloud. Nestled among the laughs is a lesson about how embracing a person’s different way of interpreting the world can lead to surprisingly good results - and bananas, lots of bananas. About the Book"A creative youngster solves a field-trip problem in this picture book about valuing what makes a person unique. 
[...] Meow’s teacher, Ms. Snickety, believes that Meow doesn’t listen; “I just listen differently,” Meow explains. On a field trip to see wildlife, the teacher gives each child a banana to offer monkeys, who take every single banana—until Meow, who believes that “sharing is caring,” takes the fruit back in an epic chase and eventually uses a cannon to fire the fruit skyward so everyone can have one. Tills offers a celebration of kids whose brains work differently. Meow is coded as neurodivergent, though it’s never discussed in such terms; the idea that Meow approaches things differently than others do, though, comes through clearly. The author uses short sentences and accessible vocabulary in Meow’s first-person narration, which feel authentic. Saladrigas’ cartoon-style, full-color art perfectly matches the text’s whimsical tone, even incorporating an imagined duck and dinosaur into Meow’s adventure. The iconic yellow cat-hat adds an extra level of expression with changing ear positions. 
An appealingly offbeat book with a strong message about appreciating unusual thinking." 
– Kirkus Reviews\n~~~~ More Reviews "Marked with hilarious scenarios and amusing illustrations, the book is sure to bring about bursts of laughter." – Icefairy's Treasure Chest "Move over, Ramona Quimby! Move over, Alexander! Meow is on the scene… and Meow is not a cat. I loved this cute & quirky story" – Reading Is My Superpower Inclusive By DefaultAs far as most kids are concerned, Meow Is Not a Cat is simply funny. But there's so much more to it: Meow thinks differently, but is never bullied or teased for it. The main character isn't gendered so every kid can see themselves in Meow. And for the parents? A delightfully snarky cat that says the silent parts out loud
